title: Job satisfaction and work excitement: organizational considerations.
abstract: March and Simon's theory of participation provided the framework for a study of personal and organizational factors predictive of intent to stay. Findings indicate that job satisfaction correlates positively with intent to stay, although interaction effects between social climate, work excitement, and work frustration also are contributory. Conclusions suggest that accurate indicators of intent to stay are not captured with measures of job satisfaction alone. Organizational effects, such as social climate, work frustration, and work excitement are background forces that need to be considered in the evaluation of job satisfaction.
